Team kitted out to take on rivals
9:35am Tuesday 21st March 2006 in
A JUNIOR football team has been launched thanks to a grant of more than £5,500 to buy equipment and kit.
Hexley Rangers, who play at Downsview Community Primary School, Beech Avenue, Swanley, are celebrating getting the equipment needed to become a fully-fledged club.
A grant from the Kent County Council Sevenoaks Local Board provided the team with league-standard goalposts and a secure container to keep equipment in.
The under-12s team also received winter kit with fleece-lined jackets and jogging bottoms.
A total of £5,540 was given to the project.
Club secretary Carol Thomas said: "We are really grateful. Without the secure container we couldn't leave the goalposts outside. "
